  Me and the girl friend are off to New York for my hols in a few weeks and I am after suggestions of things to do and see when I am there.

  I will be there for 7 days so have plenty of time to pack stuff in.

  I am off to see the New York Rangers play at Madison Square Garden, but that's just about all we've got planned. So, music venues, fooderies, comedy clubs... anything really.

  One thing I am after is a good electrical shop where I can pick up a new ipod.

  Over to you residents of NYC...

  It's actually not that cold right now. Central Park is great. Other landmarks are well...whatever.
  I reccomend Birdland and Blue Note Jazz Clubs. Blue Note is a little more $$ if you know what I mean.

  there's is this restaurant called "country" which i and my gf love a lot. it's on madison and 31st.

  there are many new restaurants by iron chefs opening up on 10th ave and around 15-17th street. there are just so many good places and i can't name it all.

  as far as ipod goes, why not order online? don't get sucked into one of those electronic shops arount times square. most of them aren't reliable.

  as far as jazz goes, i love Village Vangard, i mean that's THE legendary place. it's a hit or miss depends on who's playing.

  whatelse... moma, met, whitney, cooper hewitt, all the usual museums...

  so if I go to the NY apple store and get a new 60g ipod will I just pay $399 or will there be tax to pay on top of that? If so, does anyone know how that will bump up the cost.
